SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA (November 19, 2015) – Syrinscape, creator of the apps that put the power of custom, movie-like sound effects, soundscapes, music, and dynamic audio solutions at the fingertips of the gamer, announces today the release of the new Syrinscape Board Game Player app. The Board Game Player app is free to download, and comes with an array of free sounds to accompany classic board games such as Chess, Casino, and Soduku.

Board games come to life with an authentic-sounding and fully randomized dice roller, “oohs”, “aahs”, and “huzzahs”, various music stings with which to punctuate victories and mock opponents and more. Syrinscape’s Board Game Player creates an entirely new board game experience, all with a free, easy to use app compatible with a wide range of devices, including PC, Mac, Android Phones and Tablets, iPads, and iPhones.

Syrinscape is thrilled to also announce today the release of the Catan SoundSet™ for the new Board Game Player, a collection of realistic sounds custom-made for the award-winning strategy game Catan®, giving its millions of players an opportunity to play the game like never before. The Catan SoundSet, the first official sounds of Catan™, includes a Catan™ theme song, a randomized 2d6 dice roll, the Knight, the Robber, the ambient sounds of bustling cities and tranquil country sides, the chopping of trees, myriad animal sounds, and much more. The Catan SoundSet is available on Syrinscape.com for $9.99.

Syrinscape is also thrilled to announce today SoundSets for Spike™ and Spellcaster™, from award-winning game developer R&R Games. Spike is a challenging railway game set in the early 1900s, where players compete to become “King of the Rails”. Spellcaster is a card game where players face-off in duels of sorcery supremacy. The SoundSets include a wide variety of sounds customized for each game, such as train whistles, upgrade sounds, loading various different cargos, cows, sheep and horses in Spike, and more than 60 specific spells sounds, each with male and female incantations and ground shaking activations in Spellcaster. Each SoundSet comes with specific music to keep you humming along as you play, as well as soundscapes, victory sequences, and a slew of other auditory enhancements.

For the past 7 years I have run the website www.gamegumshoes.com. I provide information about games, reviews of games, missing rule sheets, & travel around playing games with people in the Cincinnati Tri-state area.
I have just found out that there is a piece of coding that I can embed in my Youtube videos that allows people to donate money directly to me. This means I will be able to get more games, Film and write more reviews, & can visit more conventions if I have people donate to my site. I may even be able to bring back the main site.
